Hello lovely people!

I feel like women's intimate health is something that's definitely not talked about enough. It has become better in the last few years, but it could still be a lot better. So many areas in this topic are still considered taboo to talk about, starting with periods. Well, guess what? Women have periods! It seems like some guys even get so uncomfortable or offended if women mention period around them. We should never stop talking about the fact that periods are natural and all women have them. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

For the longest time pads and tampons were almost the only choices women had during their periods, but there are a lot cheaper and healthier period solutions. Popular INTIMINAmenstrual cups are new generation products in period protection! They are ultra-soft, reusable menstrual cups made of medical-grade silicone that is hypoallergenic. They are perfectly shaped to fit your body for total comfort, covering the lightest to heaviest flows for up to 12 hours. For me the biggest benefit is that they are reusable, so using them you are saving money in the long run and protect the environment. INTIMINA menstrual cups can be used for years. In this review, I will focus on INTIMINA Lily Cup Compact because I tried this one. This is the world's first collapsible menstrual cupwhich makes it very practical - it also comes with a protective case. This cup is available in two sizes - size A (light pink) that fits to women who haven't given birth, and size B (hot pink) that is recommended for women who have given birth vaginally.

I have already read some reviews about menstrual cups and how this little product became game-changer for lots of women! Most of the women have a positive experience with menstrual cups and I could say the same thing for myself. It's definitely a totally different experience and it takes some time to get used to a new product like this. However, what I like about it is that it is probably the most hygienic option available right now as it is made of medical-grade silicone, and it doesn't require constant changing during the day like you would have to do with pads or tampons. As the cup is very soft, I didn't experience any difficulties while using it. It is comfortable and doesn't hurt or feel hard. Before first use and after every period you should boil the menstrual cup for 5-8 minutes and that way you can be sure it is completely clean and sterile. The first time you put it in, it is definitely a bit challenging, but it just requires a bit of practice like everything else. The cup comes with an instructions manual and couple of ways how to fold the cup for easier insertion. If you follow instructions, Lily Cup Compact is easy to use. I think this menstrual cup is a very good alternative to pads and tampons. Super important to me is that it doesn't leak or cause odors, dryness and irritation that is often when using pads or tampons. Considering I just started using it, I still didn't get used to it a 100% but I want to keep using it because it is just so convenient and with it, I can be more carefree than when using a pad or a tampon.

When it comes to period products, we all have our favorites for various reasons so when a new product comes out women can be quite skeptical about trying them. However, when something is safe and developed in consultation with doctors, it might be worth trying and then you can get to your own conclusion and see if the product works for you or not.INTIMINA Lily Cup Compactis available from intimina.com.
